FormerPalmOS Half-naked-but-still-blinged-out-semi-glam-edition 21018 VZW TP ROM (UC)

[FormerPalmOS]

Due to unpopular demand, I have hosted the personal ROM I am using on a daily basis here. This is what it is - it's what I use and nothing more nothing less. But it is fast, and a nice balance of speed vs. bling.

Requrements:
ROM Update Utility (you can get this from many places - if you've flashed before, you probably have this already)
Unlocked phone (if you don't know what this means, you should STOP reading now and do more research).
lllboredlll Verizon GPS fix to use GPS tools

Features:
Bling and Glam and Bloat but only(?) 2,980 files+modules in IMGFS
User-customization support (will execute SDConfig.txt at the root of your storage card at boot - search for User Customization at XDA-Dev if you want to learn how to save a huge amount of time setting up your phone after flashing)
Pagepool - Fixed 10MB. Seems to be the right setting for this set of applications
FPOS HAL boot splash screen
XIP 21018 (see thread here for changes to the XIP vs. stock)
SYS 21018.1.6 (compliments of Conflipper)
Storage card encryption (disabled by default)

Installed Applications:
HTC Keyboards
HTC TouchFlo 3D with Verizon theme
HTC Large Start Menu
HTC YouTube
HTC QuickGPS
HTC GPS Tool
Manila Calendar tab (Favorites tab has been disabled but can be re-enabled with your favorite Manilla/TF3D customizer)
Microsoft Voice Command

Not Installed:
Microsoft Bluetooth Human Interface Device support (HID)
Microsoft GPS Intermediate Drivers (uses HTC OEM drivers instead)
Microsoft Catalog
Microsoft Remote Desktop
Microsoft Supplier Quality Metrics
Microsoft SQLCE Mobile
Microsoft Transcriber
Microsoft VoIP phone support
Microsoft Windows Live
HTC MP-3 Trimmer
HTC Network Plug-in
HTC Large Title Bar
HTC Zip application (use Total Commander instead)
International support for HTC Keyboard
HTC SIP menu (uses MS input method changer instead)
HTC Ringtones and alarms (grab whatever you want and copy it to \Windows\Rings on your device) - saves files in IMGFS

Notes:
After first boot, delete the file \Windows\Start-up\Welcome.lnk - otherwise every time you soft reset you'll have to re-calibrate the screen.

Questions and answers:
1) Can you cook a version with ________ in it? A - no. Learn how to cook. It's far too easy.
2) Can you cook a version for (insert carrier here)? A - no. I don't have any other phones to test this on.
3) Can you make a version with a different (pagepool size, insert other random request here)? A - no. See #1.
4) Hey, what about that cool B2B black animated theme Scott used? Can you make a version with that? A - no. See #1.

Any other questions I will answer time permitting, but this is not what puts dinner on the table for my family!!!

MAD thanks to the folks who made this possible:
scrosler - 1st good OEM pack for Verizon, and 1st simple to use kitchen
bepe - most of the basic tools
ervius - great wrapper for BuildOS and some other great tools
conflipper - SYS
lllboredlll - GPS

Reserved #1 - bugs / notes / etc.

21018 SYS doesn't include MS Task Manager. Fortunately 21015 Task Manager works under 21018. ZIP attached. It's not 100% - ideally the registry entries from the 21015 Shell folder .rgu should also be included and the whole thing cabbed up but I ain't got time for that. Take this zip, put taskmgr.exe in \Windows and put the .lnk wherever U want in \Windows\Start Menu.

Former... When u rip stuff out of SYS, can I just erase the folder? and.. to get this 21018, all you did was switch out the CF3.5 with the good one? Let me know!

thanks!

I too am wondering how you fixed the email problem.

You can rip stuff out of SYS, but then you have to repeat that process every time you get a new SYS. It's much easier to add an entry in the option.xml for the SYS folder for the things you don't want. Take a look at the attached - this is what I use for SYS.

Yes I took the SYS you have and replaced the NETCF3.5 filder with the NetCF folder from the "working" one.

very nice sir

2nd post updated with MS Task Manager for anyone who prefers this over .fred (I use .fred).
